[Muppet]

Such a shame that I have the flu and will have to take the day off work tomorrow. Such a shame that this will mean I can watch the game. Such a shame we're going to win 3-1.

 

[Taak19]

Lasuadog, Wilson and Hunwick out.

Barrie, Palushaj and O'Byrne in.

Your line combos are a better guess than mine.

 

[Howler Scores]

Colorado Avalanche forwards Michael Sgarbossa and Mark Olver dropped the gloves and sparred during a team practice. That’s enough to raise an eyebrow, but Avalanche coach Joe Sacco doesn’t seem to have a problem with it.

This should be 2 points.

This should be 2 points.

They play 15 games in 29 days in March. Need to start stockpiling wins.

 

[Summer Rose]

Anything but two points tonight would be a vast disappointment.

Yet they don't play on my birthday. DANG YOU NHL SCHEDULING!!!!

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

No jinxing the Coyotes here as this team even during the good times has it moments of not winning games they should have won.

 

[moosemeister]

Reading the presser on NHL.com, says the Lombardi should be back in about two weeks.

 

[knowsthegame]

Fortunately, looks like Hanzal is good to go. Injured his hand in the Sharks game and didn't play in the third period.
He is our leading goal scorer!!
It will be interesting to see what Tippet does with the Vermette/Doan/ Sullivan line.
They have been our worst line of late IMO.

Has Sullivan been playing on the PP? I haven't been noticing, as I haven't been able to see the past few games, and while I was at the Blackhawks game I didn't pay too much attention to who was on the ice. Who was it on the PP early on in the season when it seemed to just click so well? Vrbatta, Sullivan as I remember correctly. I just don't know why he would switch up the PP lines after it worked so well. I know that Sullivan went down for a bit, but I would have liked to go back to the original setup when he came back.

We're DEFINITELY fortunate to have Marty in the line up.

As for the "Vermette" line (I can't bring myself to call it the Doan line), I agree. Vermette has played well defensively in my opinion, which is good because I don't know what in the hell Doan is doing out there and Sullivans lack of size combined with perhaps his age seems to be an issue.

I've never called out the Captn' but from what I've seen he needs to be put on the third line. Hey, it's better than the fourth.... after all, the embarrassing way he ran his mouth this fall was akin to Bissonette and his tweets.

 

[goyotes]

This is a classic "trap" game. If they Coyotes do not outwork the AVs, they will not get 2 points. (I think they will carry a good work ethic into this game and they will come out with the points. "In Tip I Trust.")

 

[Huddy*]

Is Smith confirmed for tonight?

 

[awfulwaffle]

Is Smith confirmed for tonight?

Don't know why he wouldn't start.

 

[VanIsle]

Is Smith confirmed for tonight?

Came to ask this, dailyfaceoff doesn't have him as the confirmed starter and I have him in a money pool today.

 

[Naych_PHX]

Smith will be playing. It's not a back to back, even then he has played those this year, and he had a shutout last game. Keep rollin'.

 

[awfulwaffle]

I love how people come here asking who is starting, but to be fair, nobody, even the media that follows the team and travels with the team, knows until game time pretty much. The Coyotes are very tight lipped about injuries, and what's going on.

 

[Vip]

There is no reason why we shouldn't win tonight..

 

[Howler Scores]

Avalanche center John Mitchell will not play vs. Phoenix Coyotes

Did I miss the part of the season where the Coyotes were an NHL powerhouse? With the play as of late, there is no team we "should" beat.

The 'Yotes need to play well and hopefully we come out with a W.

Well put. You have the makings of a good coach.

Dude, we've got the best locker room presence in the league. Nothing can stop us.
